Canon EOS R100 Underwater Photos

There are very few cameras on the market that actually fulfill the promise of being high-quality and low-budget. The Canon R100 delivers on that promise. 

The mirrorless, manual focus R100 boasts an impressive 24 megapixel APS-C sensor, has a travel-friendly compact body, impressive autofocus capabilities, and a price tag under $500USD. You won't see this level of creative control, image quality, and low price point in any other system.

Nirupam Nigam of Bluewater Photo recently took the Canon R100 diving in Southern California to show off its capabilities.

"You cannot get better image quality per dollar than the R100!" - Nirupam Nigam
